Congrats To Olena Olenyukh, The Sheepshead Bay Mom Of NYC’s First Baby Born In 2015!

Welcome to the world, Maxim Olenyukh, a new Sheepshead Bay resident that will go down in history as the first New York City baby born in 2015!

Born right at the stroke of midnight, and weighing 8 pounds, 8 ounces, little Maxim is the first child of Olena and Vasyl Olenyukh.

Mother and baby are doing well after the birth, which also happened locally at Coney Island Hospital (2601 Ocean Parkway).

“Coney Island Hospital is thrilled to have the first baby born of 2015,” said Coney Island Hospital Executive Director Arthur Wagner in a press release. “We are elated to be part of such a special moment for this family.”

What’s mom got to say?

Congratulations, Olenyukhs, and happy birthday to our newest neighbor and future Sheepshead Bites reader, Maxim!
